Only 2,600 foreigners visited North Korea last year.
Now it’s your turn.

Is it really safe to go to North Korea?

North Korea is completely safe and totally legal to visit – even for Americans!

Each year, over 2,500 people visit the country from the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other countries around the world.

And yet since the country opened up to outside visitors, only a handful of people have experienced the rare gift of visiting this reclusive nation. That makes North Korea one of the least visited countries on earth – and one of the most magical places still untouched by the outside world.

“North Korea redefines your perspective as a traveler, and is more than just a destination — it’s an adventure designed for true explorers.”

- Cyrus Kirkpatrick

When I decided to visit North Korea, my friends thought I had finally lost it, but they weren’t surprised. I travel a lot, and looked to completely change the paradigm of trips to something unique. The DPRK was that for me. It was a life experience that brought a bond with foreigners who decided to travel on this crazy journey. The photos I took circulated several large websites and serve as treasured memories. And my stories at get togethers are the stuff of legend.

What you will do in North Korea

Every time we visit North Korea, we get this crazy traveler’s high.

It’s the kind of high you can only get by being somewhere so off the grid – and yet completely safe at the same time.

North Korea – also known as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) – is one of the last untouched places in the world. It’s a country stuck in time, outside of the system — “a small planet,” in the words of one author. True story.

We think North Korea is a strange, beautiful, exotic place. There’s no country like it. There’s a reason we go back there every year.

Walk with us, for a moment, through the wide, eerie squares of Pyongyang…

Witness first-hand the last stronghold of 20th century socialism on this insulated Asian peninsula…

Explore the untouched caves of Mt. Myohyang in the stunning rural north…

Watch the mind-blowing Mass Games, the largest live performance in the world, from our front-row seats at the May Day Stadium…

Play Frisbee with locals and bike through the Mount Paekdu of Korean folklore…

Talk with local North Koreans about life inside this mysterious country…

Bond with new friends from around the world as you travel by bus to these exotic locales…

And capture priceless photos of these once-in-a-lifetime memories.

Then, come home and tell the crazy story of the time you went to North Korea — and came home with new friendships and unforgettable memories.

Going to North Korea is both completely safe and totally legal, even for Americans. We’ve worked closely with travelers from around the world to design meaningful, safe, affordable trips to the DPRK.

We offer a range of unique experiences, including:

Riveting explorations of North Korea’s museums, monuments and performances

Direct interactions with North Korean locals

One-of-a-kind sporting events

On-the-ground industry and free trade zone visits

North Korea is not for you if…

You’re looking for a traditional resort vacation without any surprises

You’re uninterested in experiencing a totally different world from the one you live in

You want photos, memories and stories of the same places your friends have been

You’d rather stick to the places that travel books and PBS specials tell you to go

You are willing to pay a high price for a predictable vacation

On the other hand, if you’re looking for a truly original experience, a safe and exciting adventure unlike any other, in a place that only a handful of foreigners have ever laid eyes upon, then you’ve come to the right place. You’ll be part of an elite group that has seen one of the least visited countries on earth.
